Momentum from the third coronavirus pandemic rarely slows.

Although the number of new confirmed cases has dropped slightly to 583, it has reached almost 600 and there have been patients in all 17 provinces, making the outbreak nationwide a reality.

There are several confirmed cases at the meeting place during the end of the year and the New Years holidays in December.

In the places where I watched a performance and ate, it was not enough to wear a mask.

The number of new confirmed cases decreased from 583 to 629 the day before, but momentum did not diminish.

The average daily number of confirmed cases in Korea during the last week was 487.9, an increase of 80 from the previous week.

In addition, new cases emerged from the 17 provinces.

The trend moves from the center of the metropolitan area to the stage of a national epidemic.

Quarantine authorities have already warned of ‘1,000 people per day’.

There is concern that the scale of the infection is also increasing.

First, the infection reproduction rate for last week was around 1.4.

It means that 10 patients infect 14 people, but the infection power is still strong.

Also, the effect of increasing the distance level is insufficient.

After increasing the distance level, the amount of movement has decreased by approximately 20%, but it is not reaching spread.

Epidemiological investigations have also failed to keep up with the rate of spread of COVID-19.

Because the leads are wide with widespread everyday infections.

Experts believe that increasing the level of distance is inevitable.

After the SAT, there are still many variables left at the end of the year, such as the college and Christmas assessment.

The government plans to discuss on Sunday whether to extend step 2 + α measures to distance the metropolitan area or raise step 2.5.
